Weekend of Apr 10 - Apr 12, 2026
WEEKEND SNAPSHOT
A classic New England spring tease: brilliant sun paired with a biting 46°F breeze. Crisp mornings giving way to high 50s.
Ongoing utility work on Route 190 may cause minor delays between Stafford and Somers.
⚡ If You Only Do One Thing
Acoustic Sessions at Stafford Cidery
Friday, Apr 10, 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
"It avoids the mud of local trails while offering the best 'community living room' vibe in the 06076 area. High-quality local cider without the drive to Hartford."
PRO TIP: Parking on Main Street is notoriously tight; use the public lot behind the Post Office and walk the 2 minutes to the cidery to avoid the parallel parking headache.
